REMINDER - Some of you are not writing enough here. A single sentence isn't enough. I expect you to expand upon your writing. If you think you have written enough, you haven't, write more. Be sure to answer WHY you think something.

A. Why do you think that these random acts of violence keep occurring at US Military bases here in the United States, like the one that happened at Fort Hood yesterday? Remember this is the second time in just a short number of years that this has happened at that base.


I don't know why these things keep happening. I guess it is some kind of reaction that comes from returning home from war. Im not going to pretend or even guess I know what it is like for soldiers but their PTSD could be a source of these shootings.
